Oprah Winfrey says she has “not one thing to do with me” regarding Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz, distancing herself from their political paths. In an interview with Emmy Magazine, she recalls that she previously supported and helped launch their television careers.
The outlets describe a contrast between Oprah’s involvement in their early rise and what they characterize as later shifts toward pro-Trump politics. One account emphasizes that their current alignment is separate from Oprah’s own views and relationships, while the other frames it as a divergence from the careers she helped build. Both sources present Oprah’s comments as a clear rejection of any implied link between her and the two doctors’ political engagement.
Overall, the reports agree on the substance of Oprah’s message: she does not claim responsibility for, or a relationship with, how Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz later become associated with President Trump’s orbit.
